WPC (Wood-Plastic Composite) boards are generally more expensive upfront than traditional wood or plywood, but the total cost of ownership can be lower over time due to their durability and low maintenance.

Cost Comparison (approximate ranges, varies by country and thickness):

• Waterproof and termite-resistant

• Longer lifespan than regular wood

• No need for painting, sealing, or varnishing

• Low maintenance

 When WPC Might Not Be Ideal:

• Budget-sensitive projects

• Short-term construction

• Where natural wood texture or aroma is essential

If you're using it for exterior cladding, furniture, decking, or bathroom cabinets, the higher cost is usually justified.
